1750 August 17 (Friday). Rode to Mr. Timothy Warrins to try for white Pine Boards — was at Mr. Beamans, whose wife is still confin’d by her broken Legg. Mr. Jonathan Forbush here and we reckon’d — what I had of him of Boards and slittwork comes to 9£ old Tenor. He desir’d and I gave him a note for 4£ and he gave me the other 5£ which was his Proportion according to the Rates (he says) towards what he thinks the precinct ought to do more than the have done towards my Building etc.
